***Burnley FC v Sunderland AFC Premier League Kick Off 3pm Match Thread***

[Twisted]

I would say groin strain looking at what the physio was doing to him.

Mayenda should have at least hit the ball with some conviction. Chance wasted.

Happy for our cerebral manager to concoct a plan having assessed the first half

Yeah i just went off his reaction after the header, you may well be right.

 

[The Situation]

Adingra needs to up his game. Been very wasteful.

Brighton fans told us that would be exactly the case. That he can pull something out of nothing but will spend long periods of games frustrating.

That said, he's getting zero help in terms of overlaps or movement from Reinildo.

 

[ChrisAshley]

Xhaka replaced at half time

Where did you hear that?

 

[Mackemansj1]

You wouldn’t know who the away side is. Burnley won’t open up, they are there for the taking. Mayenda’s finishing will cost us points this season. We looked comfortable despite Seelt getting out muscled and VAR saving us.

You’d have to worry as a fan for them if they are like this against a fellow promoted side they’re fucked when the more established rock up. I expected the place to be jumping and them to be at us. Neither have happened so far.

 

[Dodgy]

We are a bit lucky to be level
We have had huge areas to run into and play but have created nowt.It was shameful theatrical fall by Mayenda when he could have got round the lad and get the ball but chose to fall over

Lucky to be level? What have they done to make you think that?

 

[onkeldonald]

Le Fee for Adingra please.

or diarra.

 

[Deener718]

With them basically playing a 5–4-1 i think this game is made for a Le Fee. Or Push Xhaka on one. Sadiki been very quiet

Agree, Burnley look terrified of being drawn out so this isn't going to be full of running in midfield. Going to need a bit of magic to break them down

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Played ok just lacking a cutting edge shame about Ballard but just seems to follow him around.

Not for me. I'm happy with that performance, we look like we've improved from last season, they don't.

 

[wakey]

Where did you hear that?

I’m in the dressing room…

 

[Leon Solent]

He's created a good chance for Talbi, is getting doubled up on and still finding space. He's been decent.

Bruun Larsen and Walker doubling up on Adingra.

They are nervous of him

It's the yellow and his low flashpoint I'm concerned about.

 

[questos1983]

Would tally with his first half, which I think has been poor.

agreed

 

[Betty Swollocks]

or diarra.

Adingra on a yellow

 

[Drexl]

The negativity from some is madness, you’d think we were 3 down.

 

[percy]

Because we're not winning certain players are now being labelled poor.

One average half and everyone is shite.

 

[MustardAndOnions]

We need a striker can’t rely on Mayenda getting the goals to keep use up

Such a simplistic view like, you need goals from All over the pitch

Not many strikers get 10+ goals in this league

 

[Vore]

Lucky to be level? What have they done to make you think that?

They had a goal disallowed and should have scored with the header at the end

 

[calmac]

The 'Pink' or the Echo?

Dunday Sun and The People.

 

[Mackemansj1]

Think this has guiu to come on and score the winner from a le fee pass written all over it.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Aye. Think it's why we are after (and need) another centre half. He can't be relied on, no matter how good he is when he does play.

Agreed, terrible timing with negotiations for Lucumi
